Hi, I’m Julie, a beloved child of God and wellness enthusiast based in Cypress, TX.

My mission is to provide a holy space of listening and support where you can encounter the love, healing, and transformative power of God.

For over 20 years, I have served God in various roles: teacher, speaker, retreat leader, author, mentor, spiritual director, nonprofit founder, spiritual formation leader, campus ministry planter, and health coach. I have walked my own journey of healing from 18 years of chronic illness and feel passionate about the integration of spiritual, mental, and physical health.

Married for 30 years to my best friend Michael, a pastor, I have the joy of being mom to three children—two adults and one teen. My husband and I run a nonprofit ministry to refugee women and their children in the home which we live on a small farm with a huge garden and lots of animals.
